Here's Where Military Members Can Eat for Free on Veterans Day

Dozens of restaurants, including many national chains like Applebee’s, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Outback Steakhouse, are offering free food and other discounts to veterans and active duty military with valid proper identification. Veterans Day falls on Saturday, Nov. 11 this year, so some restaurants are offering days the day of, or on Friday. Many even extended the deals for the whole weekend — or are offering military members deals for the entire month of November.
